Back to School & Major Blog Guilt

It has been a long time since my last blog post...

I am trying to slide back into my "school" seat hoping that nobody notices.

I can't do it...

I tell my daughters every day to be noticed...

For the right things.

So as three of the four girls embark on new adventures

I say "Carpe diem"

and know that your parents love you...

First day of school breakfast.

"One of these things is just like her mother..."

(hint: it's the one on the left that would rather be in bed.)

Miss Julia Rose on Middle School Anxiety: "A favorite book is like an old friend, I want to read it until the bus comes and tuck it in my bag like a security blanket."

(She's an old soul! Honestly, you think I could make that up?!)

Plant the seed and watch it grow

Moving On

Anna went through Kindergarten like it was her job. She loved it and was not so sure she was ready to let go and move on to 1st grade. Showing Jane the ropes has really helped her transition and move on to bigger and better things.

Finding comfort in old friends

BFFs

I'm ready are you?!

I still can't believe my youngest child is off to Kindergarten. I think that it may take awhile to let it sink in to the point where I can put it into words. I am probably going to have to get back to you on that whole situation.

I watched as she found her name and hung her J "the S stands for Scott, after Daddy" W backpack.

It was amazing to witness Julia & Anna put their own anxieties aside to support "the littlest whitten." Everywhere I turn my girls never cease to amaze me.

psst...there may be 4 whitten girls in school next year!
